Parfums Caron Accord 119 is a Parfum launched in 2011, created by Richard Fraysse. Accord 119 settles into a heart of Blackcurrant Leaf, Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Parfums Caron's Accord 119 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Accord 119 is a divisive Caron, praised by some for its rich, fruity musk but reviled by others for its perceived cheapness or strange notes. Definitely not a safe blind buy, this one is for those who appreciate a unique berry-patchouli blend with an 'antique' twist.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and warm, sweet character make it better suited for evening or casual wear. While some found it elegant, its strong fruity and musky notes might be too intense for an office setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine wandering through a bramble patch, sun-warmed and heavy with ripe blackberries and redcurrant leaves. This fragrance captures that, with a juicy, jammy opening that quickly blends into an earthy, peppery patchouli heart. Musks and a sweet vanilla-amber base lend a sensual, almost 'antique' depth, while a hint of heliotrope adds a powdery floral touch.
